PRECIOUS "Excuse me please," I muttered to Damon, not waiting for his response before sauntering in Duke's direction. He had a glass of wine in his hands and from the way he held it, I knew that the poor glass didn't stand the chance of surviving it. But suddenly a thought came to mind and the memory of him with Ruby flashed through and for a fleeting second moment, I thought about how well it served him but it quickly vanished when I remembered that he could never do anything behind my back or to hurt me for that matter. Duke's eyes shot up when he saw me walking towards him and I thought I saw his tension loosen a little and a fake smile appeared on his face before it vanished like it was never there. I maintained our gaze with him and as I was finally standing in front of him, I looked down at the poor glass and gently took it away from him. "Leave it," He tried taking it back, but being stubborn, I didn't let him. "Why should I? The poor glass did nothing." I whispered,
PRECIOUS I immediately withdrew from Ruby and feigned to be angry at Duke when suddenly the door was pushed open and several men without shirts walked in. Everyone suddenly became quiet as we stared at the men who barged into our home as though it belonged to them. They all looked like they couldn't wait to destroy us all and I shuddered as an uneasy feeling settled at the pit of my tummy. No one said a word as we all sat as if in a trance before one of the men cocked their gun and began to shoot at the roof, leaving a hole in its wake. A loud piercing scream erupted from my mouth as I watched with fearful eyes as another man pointed a gun at one of the maids. I saw people getting up and I felt a hand grab my waist, dragging me towards his chest. My breathing became hitched as fear clutched my heart. My legs suddenly became wobbly and I had the feeling that I was going to faint anytime soon. “Take her away from here Richmond and make sure to stay with her,” I heard someone
AUTHOR'S POINT OF VIEW Immediately Richmond left Precious in Nate's room, he ran down stairs, taking the stairs two at a time until he finally was in the sitting room. The scene before him made him gasp and stare with fearful eyes at the mess that was made on the ground. Their maids and some of their guards were lying dead on the floor and guilt washed over them thinking about the children that would be missing their families, children who were left at home to wait for when their parents would return home to them. Richmond saw Ruby fighting the men and he went to assist her when he saw someone try to hit her from behind. Raising his leg up, Richmond kicked the man's hand away, and he fell down on the ground. He turned slightly around, checking to see if anyone was behind him but there was not, and faced Ruby and the man she was fighting with. “I hope Precious is safe?“ Ruby asked with concern in her tone. She didn't take her eyes off the man as she continued kicking and avoi
PRECIOUS I was still reminiscing in my moments with my unborn pub when I heard muffled cries of a woman. The voice sounded familiar and it seemed like she was with someone. I got up from the bed and I found my legs taking me to where the door was. As I walked closer to the door, my heart pounded wildly in my chest, not knowing what could be wrong with her. Then I heard it. “Please don't kill me, I promise to give you whatever you want.“ That was godmother Ruth's voice. What was she doing here? I thought she was supposed to be down stairs with the rest or be hiding somewhere for her safety? “Sharrap woman! Do we look like we are starving or are short of money?“ Someone said harshly, and I moved backwards in fear as possible thoughts of the danger that godmother could be in right now crossed my thoughts and at that, fear washed over me, causing me to shudder as though I was under a hundred degrees air conditioner. “Let me go and help her. She's in trouble and will need my help.“
PRECIOUS A loud agonizing sound escaped from my mouth and as I moved backwards to escape from him, his feet made yet another contact with my body and I felt like I was going to lose it. My head was banging so hard as though someone was hitting a hammer on it and I closed my eyes, wanting to escape from the moment of terror I had naively thrown myself into. “Leave her alone you animal!“ Godmother Ruth screamed, her voice sounding off and I could tell it was probably due to the fact that her body had become weak. But I wanted her to stay away from things, not that she could actually help me considering she was tied up and all, so that he wouldn't leave me for her. “I said leave her alone. Do you think you are going to remain alive once any of the Alphas comes here?“ Her voice was loud, and I heard a crack in there, and I felt scared knowing she was going to lose her voice. The man suddenly stopped kicking me and a sigh of relief left my mouth which didn't even last for a second
AUTHOR With her head slightly raised, she sighed when her mind wandered over all that happened to her in the past few weeks. She could recall vividly the humiliation she had to swallow because of that thing, that little thing that had made her boyfriend blind to not know who she was again. After all the time, all the sacrifices that she made for Duke... It all was in vain. The veins in her body popped out and her hands tightly fisted together, with her head tipped into a deep frown. If she had her way, that little thing that had enchanted her boyfriend would have died on the day of her coronation. She had felt insulted, the humiliation she received had never been heard in the history of humanity. Yet, she had the guts to beat her up, no she didn't beat her up. May the goddess forbid that a little thing like her would be her. Her heart felt pain as if someone stabbed her twice as she remembered her bloodied self on that day. “Arab!“ Rage filled her heart, her eyes blaring fire
AUTHOR Bianca was still smiling when her eyes landed on a particular message, her expression immediately changed from happy to angry at the sight of the name of the person who sent her a message. Luke. Her body stilled and she could hear the wild rate at which her heart was beating. What could it be that he sent her now? She had read all his previous messages and knew how angry it made her. Bianca's hold on her mobile tightened and she squeezed her face, her eyes a flaring fire, before tapping on his message. [Meet me outside. Don't bother ignoring me after getting this message. I will be there in eleven minutes.] Bianca immediately became alarmed. Checking the time he sent the message and the time on her phone, Bianca saw that she only had two minutes before the son of the devil came. She sprang up from her bed and quickly wore her slippers before giving herself a once look over to see whether she looked presentable. Ever since she got back, her appearance had never crossed
AUTHOR Bianca's face turned ashen White immediately. 'Your mother fucking gave it to me'. She felt weak, like someone had just sapped all her strength out of her body. She knew her parents were in support of this marriage between them but she never thought her mother would go to this extent. Bianca felt anger rising on her chest. Her lungs constricted as she tried controlling herself. Bianca returned her attention to the man pinning himself on her, her breath now sagged. “I don't care whether she gave you the key to my apartment but the fact that you asked her for it shows how much of a dimwit you are.“ Her whole body shook and she saw red. She tried wiggling herself out of his arms but his hold on her was strong. Luke threw his head backwards and laughed mischievously. He was quite surprised himself when her mother gave him the key without any question. Women, that's how far they can go in achieving what they want even at the expense of their daughter's privacy. He sneered inw
